For the Fourth of July, our group planned an outreach in the city park, where many people from the town hang out before the fireworks. We passed out free water bottles and popcorn, with Bible verses attached, as well as setting out crafts for the kids. It was awesome to see the look on people's faces when we handed them popcorn or water and did not expect money from them. I thought it was a very cool way to just show people God's love. My favorite part of our outreach, though, was performing the skit to Lifehouse's song, Everything, as seen on Youtube and performed by others with much frequency. This skit shows God creating a human, her straying from Him when she gives into the temptations of the world, and then God, in His infinite love and grace, fighting to win her back. This skit is so powerful. I encourage everyone to check out a version on Youtube. Hopefully, I can post a video of the skit we did on my blog. Every time I watch it, I cry or get chills. Seeing this skit just made me so excited to share God's love with others. I felt rejuvenated by the skit as well. I could feel God's love through the skit. I just love the picture of God dancing with me and fighting for me and hugging me and holding my hand. A lot of conversations about the gospel came out of the skit as well. I am so excited about how the day went! We ended it by watching a gorgeous firework show!
PS. In writing this blog, I have realized how often I use the following words: cool, exciting, amazing, and awesome. However, those words all quite accurately describe summer project. So please bear with me as I attempt to expand my vocabulary. Thanks :)
